Sweet Savage Congo

Mission: Bo travels back in time to meet up with Dr. Lewis in the Congo rainforest with the intention of trapping a hungry Garuda and stopping a Fae War…

Chapter 2

Lauren looked concerned as Bo patiently explained her presence in the Congo, "The Ash sent me. He decided you needed additional protection…so I am here to basically shadow you for the next several days," "A bodyguard…but… why?" Lauren couldn't disguise her apprehension… "Are we in danger? Is there something I should know?"

"No, he's just doing this for precautionary reasons…Bo struggled to invent something sensible… "He's a very cautious man," she finished weakly…frustrated by her inability to come up with something believable.

Lauren frowned dubiously, so Bo decided a new tactic was in order and gently released her succubus energy as she touched Lauren's hand. Bo felt slightly guilty as Lauren's eyes became confused…her lovely face taking on a soft helpless look…her inhibitions obviously fading away. Bo hated to use her power on Lauren, but she needed her trust right now…not doubts.

Lauren didn't know what was wrong with her. She felt feverish…her mind sluggish, her skin hot, an ache began to build in private places, making her wet…wanting something…Lauren moaned…her body throbbing. She couldn't take her eyes off Bo's lips…just one kiss…she bent forward…

Lauren's arousal shook Bo to her core. Bo fought the strong temptation to lean forward into the kiss she knew was coming. She managed to stop herself right before their lips met… much to Lauren's dismay and to be honest…hers as well. It just wouldn't be fair to take advantage of the doctor when she was… under the influence.

Bo shuddered as desire and hunger fought with logic and reason. As the hungry Succubus regained control she glanced at Lauren and realized the situation could certainly get "out of control" very quickly if she allowed Dr. Hotpants even one kiss.

"Dr. Lewis,"…Bo spoke softly…still struggling with desire as she almost regretfully released her hold upon the enchanted doctor.

"I think I need to rest for a bit if you don't mind. It was a veeery long trip," Bo released an exhausted breath and rubbed her eyes dramatically.

Lauren blinked several times and shook her head as if clearing the fog from her mind…she apologized for her lack of hospitality. "I'm so sorry…of course you are. My tent is next door. You can rest there. I really should study more tissue samples…the contagion I am researching has strange reactions to any stimulus I introduce…it is unlike anything I have ever seen."

Lauren talked quickly as they walked… her brow furrowed deep in thought about stuff Bo considered waaay over her head. Bo smiled. Now, this was the Lauren she knew and loved.

As they reached Lauren's tent…Lauren turned to Bo with a bright smile…her eyes shyly avoiding Bo's. Please take advantage of my bed for as long as you need it. Bo returned the smile as she thanked Lauren… her mind wandering to all the ways she would like to take advantage of that bed…with Lauren in it.

Both women felt the sexual tension in the air as if it were a palpable entity. Lauren's eyes slowly met Bo's and seemed to sense the other woman's erotic thoughts causing the heat to rise in her face once more. Bo grinned and found herself relishing all the eye sex Lauren was throwing her way. Bo shook herself... "Focus, Focus…Garuda…Garuda!" …she whispered under her breath.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" Lauren looked oddly at Bo. "Barracuda," Bo said quickly…"I have a thing for that old song…Lauren looked puzzled… "Oh…haven't heard that one, but anyway…I'll have dinner brought in for us around 7:00ish. It won't be anything fancy…but it'll be edible" Lauren apologized.

Bo groaned as she watched Lauren turn and walk away in those very short shorts. "How in the world am I going to focus on business with Lauren running around dressed like that?"

Bo entered the doctor's tent and inhaled deeply…she smiled… "Aahhh smells like Lauren…honey and amber. Bo knew she needed to snoop around but she couldn't resist lying on the bed a few moments to surround herself with Lauren's warm intoxicating scent.

"Bo! Focus! Garuda…Garuda!" Bo self chastised as she dragged her body away from Lauren's soft bed reminding herself that she did have a mission after all. That old rule…work before pleasure was pretty hard on a Succubus. She didn't see any immediate signs that Nadia was here. Maybe she hasn't arrived yet? Bo hoped not…it would make things so much easier.

If I can find the Garuda and trap it with the music box Ryan made…then our problems will be solved. Bo glanced at her watch…5:00 pm. I should have time for one camp walk-through with the Garuda locator thingy and see if I can catch the Garuda this afternoon while Lauren is busy in her lab.

Then I'll have two whole days to hang out with Lauren before I have to go back. Aahhh…the possibilities!

Lauren looked at the specimen once again, adjusted her microscope and released a frustrated breath. "What is wrong with me?" she shook her head trying to clear her mind. Thoughts of her new bodyguard would not shake loose as she vainly tried to concentrate on her work. Lauren hadn't been this attracted to anyone her entire life…not even Nadia.

Nadia…she sighed guilt eating at her. She had met Nadia six months back during her residency at the hospital and had been pleasantly surprised by Nadia's amorous pursuit. Being introverted , a workaholic, and somewhat of a nerd she was surprised she hadn't frightened Nadia away after the first date, but Nadia had hung in there.

Lauren couldn't contain her smile as she remembered how Nadia had sent her flowers for a week straight until she agreed to go out with her. The persistent woman had also lectured her about achieving a proper work/life balance… complaining Lauren just worked too much. She had even once called the hospital reporting Lauren as sick…tempting her to spend the day in bed.

Duty had won that day. Lauren frowned sadly at the memory. There was just no possible way she would ever forgive herself if one of her patients died while she was irresponsibly pretending illness while rolling around in the sheets. Nadia had been so disappointed, pretending indifference but Lauren knew better.

Lauren's thoughts then returned to Bo. Would she have gone back to work that day if Bo had made the call? The visuals that went along with that idea suddenly made Lauren a tad hot and bothered. Feeling uncomfortable with this train of thought she checked her watch…5:30 pm.

Lauren's body felt sticky all over with the Congo humidity and… other thoughts…so she decided to shower before dinner.

She was a little nervous at the thought of spending the evening with Bo. But, she'd be damned if she would look like a hag… so not wasting any time, she grabbed an extra robe and flip-flops she kept in the lab and headed to the makeshift outdoor shower located right outside the camp perimeter.

Lauren sighed as she rolled her eyes…a cold shower is just what I need she thought as she undressed and entered the shower.

At first Lauren had been a little leery of the public shower, but there were few people in the camp. Males and females had scheduled access. So far, she had avoided an awkward moment and normally everyone gave her the privacy she needed… so it worked out fine.

She moaned with pleasure as the cool water rained down on her fevered skin and she quickly lathered up with scented soap.

Bo found the phone in one of the tents and promptly called the Ash explaining the mission. The Ash was not buying the story until Bo gave him the secret clan phrase Trick instructed her to supply. Bo neglected to tell the Ashhole Nadia's true identity…begrudgingly protecting the Morrigan.

After the phone conversation Bo walked around the camp studying every face…trying to pick up any irregularities in behavior…any obvious anger or aggression. She quickly found the only anger around was her own as she came up empty handed…no Garuda. She avoided the infirmary where all the sick Fae were quarantined. It wouldn't do for her to catch the contagion. She seriously doubted the Garuda would be hiding out there…those Fae were mostly comatose.

Now the last location to check is the camp shower facilities. Bo approached the shower cautiously, hearing the spray of water…not sure who would be using the facilities until she noticed Lauren's discarded clothing and boots in the changing room. Suddenly a devilish idea formed and Bo began removing her clothing.

To be continued…

I appreciate all the reviews! I hope to have another chapter done soon.
